Hi,

I am new to ldap. We have 4 ldap servers, 2 of them are in mirror-mode
providers, 2 of them are just consumers/replicas. I am working on
loadbalancer for these 4 ldap servers using ldap/meta backend. I want to
the ldap proxy/loadbalancer to,
redirect write requests to one of the 2 mirror-mode providers.
redirect read requests to any of the 2 replicas/consumers.

I know ldap backend has uri list which can be used to redirect to
mirror-mode providers. But I want to redirect only the write requests.

Or just configure back-ldap+chain on the consumers so they forward any 
write requests to the master nodes.

I would note you generally want to ensure write ops only go to an "active" 
master in the pair to avoid collisions.
